Thinking Critically about LGBT people in science:


 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * While the page is very short and lacking many examples of LGBT scientists in general, the only three examples in the history section are of white males, two of which are of American, with the last being of an Englishman. The L, B, and T are all missing in LGBT on this page, as well as anyone non-white and anyone who does not speak English. The history section also only includes history beginning in the mid 1900s, while there were surely LGBT individuals involved in science previous to the last hundred years.
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
 * Many of the sources do not have links associated with them, and there are often multiple claims made before a single source is cited; I cannot access some of the sources without heading to a library, so I do not know for certain, but it would seem that this is not a sufficient ratio of citations information.
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
 * Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
